The statement further noted that CP Mohammed Azare will assume leadership of the Akwa Ibom State Command, CP Wilfred Afolabi has been appointed to the Ondo State Command, and CP Joseph Eribo, who previously served in Akwa Ibom, has been redeployed to the Ekiti State Command.

The Chairman of the Police Service Commission, Deputy Inspector General Hashimu Argungu (retd), described the appointments as a call to national service.

?He implored them to remain committed to the Government?s efforts to stabilise the nation and ensure that all states are free from crime and criminality. DIG Argungu stated that the Commission would closely monitor their progress and encourage their success in their new roles. He also urged them to reciprocate the Government?s gesture by rededicating themselves to the service of their fatherland,? the statement added. (The PUNCH)
